2474,

Without knowing more about your robot, assembly techniques (how did you crimp your 6awg terminals?), its mechanisms, etc. I fear that you are trying to band-aid the symptom of a much more significant problem.

I cannot answer your question about the 6awg terminals right now, but as for the Mechanisms:
Drivetrain- 2 CIMs on this Sonic shifter (am-2509_37) for a total of 4 regular CIMS

Collector- 2 banebot RS-550 motors each on P60 PGBs with 5.09 ratio

Pneumatics- We use pneumatics for shifting and lifting our collector up and down. The compressor only runs when motors (other than the drive motors) are not spinning.

Arm/Shooter- 2 am-0912 with that are reduced by 630:1 ratio. The shooter uses 2 more CIMs for spinning up our wheels.

Summary:
- 6 CIMs total
- 2 banebot RS-550
- 2 am-0912
- 1 Compressor
